What Makes Your Foundry College Experience Unique?
Live Instruction
Go beyond the lecture and learn alongside your classmates - in real time – with role-playing, breakout groups, and active learning exercises.
Online Setting
Classes are conducted entirely in the online classroom, with no pre-work or homework assigned.
Real Community
Actively engage with your professor and fellow students throughout the class, and work directly with your personal coach and peer mentors.
“This was a great opportunity to learn fundamentals I didn’t have, and the real-world learning in Foundry’s classes offers things that a textbook simply cannot.
Having these professional skills and the project management credential is very critical and important for me, and I feel well equipped for success now that I’ve earned the CompTIA Project+ certification.”
- Dustin, Foundry College Project Management credentialed certificate graduate
You'll Master Concepts
At Foundry College, you’ll do more than just get by – you’ll master the concepts in your courses. Rather than earning a grade, you’ll be able to demonstrate a deep understanding of the material and apply your skills and knowledge in your work and personal life.
“I had started Trailhead and gotten lost along the trail. If you are interested in filling up your toolbox with useful skills and knowledge, this program is for you!
Every single class had something that I could use in my job.”
- Lacy, Foundry College Salesforce Administrator credentialed certificate graduate
